“…a new study by patient safety researchers provides some context…Their analysis, published in the BMJ on Tuesday [‘Medical error—the third leading cause of death in the US,’ 03 May 2016], shows that ‘medical errors’ in hospitals and other health care facilities are incredibly common and may now be the third leading cause of death in the United States — claiming 251,000 lives every year, more than respiratory disease, accidents, stroke and Alzheimer’s.”

“Martin Makary, a professor of surgery at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine who led the research, said in an interview that the category includes everything from bad doctors to more systemic issues such as communication breakdowns when patients are handed off from one department to another.”

“’It boils down to people dying from the care that they receive rather than the disease for which they are seeking care,’” Makary said.

“His calculation of 251,000 deaths [per year] equates to nearly 700 deaths a day — about 9.5 percent of all deaths annually in the United States.”

“Moreover, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention doesn’t require reporting of errors in the data it collects about deaths through billing codes, making it hard to see what’s going on at the national level.”

“Frederick van Pelt, a doctor who works for The Chartis Group, a health care consultancy, said another element of harm that is often overlooked is the number of severe patient injuries resulting from medical error.”

“’Some estimates would put this number at 40 times the death rate,’ van Pelt said.”

There you have it. Now let’s dig in.

First of all, this study, as you can see, is focusing on medical errors in hospitals and “other health care facilities.” Did the researchers do much work looking for fatal errors that occur in average doctors’ offices? If not, the death numbers mentioned in this study are on the low side.

The CDC, which regularly reports mortality figures, doesn’t receive data, nor does it require data, from doctors, on errors which lead to patients’ deaths. So the CDC is completely in the dark on the third leading cause of death in the US. This, of course, is the same agency that assures the public that vaccines are wonderfully safe and effective.

Consider the final quotes above. The estimate that “severe patient injuries from medical errors” are 40 times the death figure (251,000) would give us this: every year in the US, there are 10 million severe injuries as a result of medical errors.

For years, I’ve been hammering on another landmark study out of John Hopkins. It was published on July 26, 2000, in the Journal of the American Association: “Is US health really the best in the world?” The author was Dr. Barbara Starfield, a revered public health expert. Starfield separated deaths from errors/mistreatment in hospitals, and deaths from medical drugs:

Yearly deaths from mistreatment and errors in hospitals: 119,000.

Yearly deaths from correctly prescribed medical drugs: 106,000.

Total: 225,000 (verses the new 251,000 number)

The new study doesn’t specifically give a death-number for the medical-drug category.

So again, we can assume the new study is citing an overall death figure that is on the low side.

So let’s just round off the new 250,000-death figure and call it 300,000 deaths in America per year as a direct result of the medical system.

That works out to 3 MILLION deaths per decade.

And, if severe patient injuries is 40 times the death figure, then that equates to 120 MILLION severe patient injuries per decade.

This is the altruistic umbrella under which more Americans than ever will live and die, as a result of the glorious Obamacare insurance program.

This is the foundation on which doctors and medical bureaucrats stand, when they make statements to the press about the unqualified success of modern medicine—for example, in the area of vaccines.

“I’m the expert here. I represent a system that kills 3 million Americans per decade and severely injures 120 million Americans, and therefore you can believe me when I say that vaccines are remarkably safe and effective.”

Who are the clueless? Who are the liars? Who are the people killing and maiming the people?

Who are the lunatics?

The people who opt for natural health?

I don’t think so.

No.

The lunatics and their dupes and proxies are in plain view, every night, on your television screen.

‘If there were to be a two month sanitation/garbage collection strike, it would have more severe consequences on health, than a strike in the health care system.’ That is a paraphrasing of something written by Richard Brown in his book ‘Rockefeller Medicine Men.’ Richard Brown was an MD.

The principle gains in heath from the 19th century into the 20th century, came from improved nutrition and prevention (sanitation, clean water, refrigeration, etc), not from the health care system.

The medical cartel needs people to believe that the health care system is indispensable.

I read a while ago that the top 4 leading causes of death are: 1) Medical Procedures done RIGHT; 2) Medical Procedures mal/misfeasance; 3) Drugs prescribed Correctly; Drugs mal/misfeasance.

What’s interesting, is the “research” decided to show the smallest recombination of classes of iatrogenic causes of death…

I wish I could find the raw data. But the raw numbers showed they were LARGER than heart disease and cancer…though cancer now is way larger and higher up on the Top ten list now.

Just by omitting even as described from the medical industrial complex Top 10 list, of don’t blame us for murdering you, is a level of fraud that should invalidate and make suspect everything they ever dare say about “health.”

A few more numbers, from Bill Bonner’s book, Hormegeddon: How too much of a good thing leads to disaster:

“Statistically, you’re at least 2,000 times more likely to be killed by your doctor than by a terrorist. Even automobile accidents cause only about one-seventh as many victims” (p.195) [edit. And those are at the 225,000 deaths-by-medicine per year level, so may be low]

“A 2003 research article entitled “Death by Medicine” documented how the American medical system became the leading cause of death and injury in the United States. It did more harm than good, said the authors. Then, a follow up article in 2010, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, found that one quarter of all people admitted to hospitals were injured or killed after being admitted. An organization called “HealthGrades” provided more detail. It found “the incidence rate of medical harm occurring is estimated to be over 40,000 each and every day according to the Institute for Healthcare Improvement.” Another study, by the Office of Inspector General for the Department of Health and Human Services, found that one in seven Medicare patients who were admitted to the hospital were harmed by the system and nearly half of the harmful events were preventable.” (p.196) [edit. What of the other half? They’re saying the hospital system is inherently highly dangerous, even if all “preventable” harmful events were eliminated.]

Here’s a boggler: “There were 3.68 billion prescriptions filled in the US in 2009; that’s 12 for every man, woman and child in the country.” (p.197)

Note: HealthGrades / The Institute for Healthcare Improvement’s “over 40,000” per day rate of medical harm fits with your rounded extrapolation of 120 million severe injuries per decade, which is 32,877 per day.

Thank you Jon for exposing the truth. Australia is just as bad if not worse. Criminal doctors are deliberately tricking thousands of healthy women into unnecessary radical hysterectomies for profit and training practice. Fabricating cancer is one of the dirty tricks they use to hoodwink women into these barbaric mutilations…

If you want a cure for high blood pressure, angina, blocked arteries and a lot of other circulatory problems including some cancers there is a natural plant which has miraculous effects. I refused the angioplasty for aschleriosis and walked out of hospital instead. Got some of this herb and a few weeks later had no symptoms anymore, full symetry in my body, full use of my formerly useless my midday left arm and I have a vitality and flexibility in my body I’ve not had since my twenties. I am 54. I’ve also passed it onto others, an American guy of 73 years who was up for bypass surgery, used it to reverse his conditions too. I was off all my mecdication within a week too and now I have no trigger foods, I can eat sugar, salt etc with no reactions. Anybody who has Angina knows what that means. I also sleep like a baby, no more waking up many times a night to neck and chest pains. The herb is found on ebay and is very cheap. I also reccomend a three or four week dose, then give it a month or so and do it again. Several times. I am in my third round now and I can simply feel “power” returning to my body day by day. I already have extraordinary energy levels and vitality, feeling way younger than my years again.

This is it. ….. Fagonia Arabica. (Dhamasa) I have never seen a faster, more undeniable cure of any illness in my life, let alone a chronic one like heart disease. I also lost a small kidney stone I’d had for years through this. It is basically a blood purifier. Used by the ancients, it is native to the old trade routes.

By the way, the difference in my body before and after has made me realise many of the symptoms of aging, are actually due to arterial bloclages. Poor circulation. Reversing my circulatory issues reversed the signs of aging I was living with, such as stiffness of joints, aches and pains etc.

I’m going to give it a go, just because you said so.
The circulation in my feet has deteriorated (they’re cold).
I’ve been completely organic, vitamins, minerals, & etc, & etc.
I need help 3 grams 1 to 2 times a day for a month,
take the next month off right???
Thank you for reaching out to help.
Peace

Actual quote from a doctor concerning my father who was in failing health and being over-medicated in the hospital (it was all causing him to struggle to breathe deep enough). “I’d like to send your dad home with a daily dose of morphine so he won’t feel the need to breathe.”

That’s how brazen doctors have become and how trusting they expect us to be. My dad went home without morphine and was quickly weaned off all but one medication. Funny how even in his last weeks, he didn’t struggle to breathe with the “medicines” gone. That doctor would have had him dead two days at most after discharge if we’d followed his orders.

Jon, my 7 children were medically kidnapped by the state of KY, force vaccinated, forced into the public school system, and possibly put on psychotropic drugs (I haven’t seen or talk to my children in about 8 months).

I know of many more families whose children have been medically kidnapped through child protective services and the unconstitutional family court system.

Thank you for exposing the lunacy and darkness, giving voice and words to something I couldn’t express but seeing around me and knowing how far I’ve been corrupted. It’s like when Alex Jones said on his show lately how you’re lovingly removing the mind control like a real doctor would in the way of Hippocrates “Thou shalt do no harm”. Really awesome seeing you on the show! Thank you x infinity!

Anecdotally speaking, I’ve experienced this quite recently & still recovering from the “recovery” the allopathic medical complex alleges to provide for you. Nurses are drones who “jab” you at a moment’s notice (often with none) & depend on your incoherence as consent. Doctors & nurses almost NEVER communicate the patient’s concerns & or questions (which is why you’ve to repeat over & over like an INTERROGATION), only issuing commands & executing them. And the way they perpetuate this madness with the residencies through these young doctors who don’t seem to understand “cause & effect”, ” action & consequence “, cumulative effects of administering powerful drugs even at low doses over a short period of time. It is total lunacy! The vast majority of American Hospitals are certified MADHOUSES!!

Healthcare system today is a religion, with priest class in white robes, proclaiming the toxins for health and multibillion dollar companies making money through that. Ask the people one simple question: Are you cured from your disease?

This is a vitally important article to read. Iatrogenic Illnss (illness caused by doctors, hospitals and medications) is running rampant. It is routinely “swept under the rug” by the Media but everyone should be aware of it. It has been going on for decades and is now the THIRD largest cause of death in America.
